Bananoid 1989 Arcade action
This is an Arkanoid-clone. You don't know Arkanoid? Oh well - simple idea: bounce the ball against the bricks. Maybe the name Breakout sounds more familiar to you - another game of that style. So what's so special about Bananoid? First I have strong personal feelings to this game, second is the main reason to put a game up: it's just good! Unusual about THIS game of that style is the fact that it scrolls - so it's quite challenging. In MY opinion the best game of this kind! (the VERY best!) ...
Colin McRae Rally 2005 2004 Simulation
When it comes to driving games, there are two essential types: arcade demolition derbies that leave one hand to fend for beer and cheesy puffs, and hardcore replications of real-world physics. Colin McRae Rally 2005 is of the latter species: a relatively unforgiving yet smartly designed simulation of off-road hill-humping, mud-chucking, gravel-flinging racing with the best-looking visuals on any system, hands down. If you're not familiar with the genre, rally racing retains some of the grassroots spirit the mega-corporate auto events lack. Rally cars are specially designed street-legal vehicles raced independently against a timer along on- and off-road tracks with a...
Nightshade 1992 Adventure
Not to be confused with an isometric game of the same name for the Spectrum ZX computer, Nightshade is a highly underrated NES game from Beam Software/Konami (published under its Ultra Games label). The reason Nightshade wasn't a commercial success is probably at least partly due to the fact that it's not a typical console fare - the game is a graphic adventure a la classic Sierra/LucasArts games, with some action elements thrown in. This means action gamers who expect another fast and furious platformer will be disappointed, and graphical adventure fans would pass this one by, mistaking it for...
Apache Flight 1992 Amiga
Apart from the likes of the Codemasters' titles, original budget titles are still a fairly rare commodity. Hence, it's a nice surprise to see something like Apache Flight. Don't expect anything flash: it's basically a primitive version of SWIV; even so, though. Apache is still a solid and playable shoot 'em up. The predictable storyline tells of a mission to destroy a series of weapon caches which have been overrun by a Guerrilla-owned army. Thus, armed in your super, ultra-tooled-up "Chopper you must run the gauntlet of enemy emplacements and vehicles, whilst avoiding the flak they continually release. Meanwhile, there...
Defiance 1997 Arcade action
For decades Avalon Hill has been renowned for its wonderfully brilliant board games, but when it turned its attention to computerized ports of its successful library, instead of becoming the turn-based juggernaut of PC games, it took a promising niche and heaped on the mediocrity. Apparently not content with giving only one genre a bad name, Avalon Hill decided to tackle the ultra-successful, much-ballyhooed first-person shooter and create a Quake clone that'll no doubt reach the bargain bin of your local Babbages in record time. Defiance is the first release from Visceral Productions, the action-oriented publishing arm of Avalon Hill. The...
Crack of Doom 1989 Adventure
The third and final game in the Lord of the Rings trilogy game series from Melbourne House. Crack of Doom is a bit different than the other games because you can only control one character and that is Sam Gamgee. I find this a bit annoying since Sam isn't the main character in the game but also one of the more boring characters although I admit he is a good part of the entire story. There are also several times the story in the game doesn't match with the original story but it doesn't matter that much since it makes the...
Mystery of the Nautilus, The 2002 Adventure
The Mystery of the Nautilus is an adventure game inspired by Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea -- but take that "inspired" business with a grain of salt. Both the book and the game contain a character named Captain Nemo, and they both contain a submarine named the Nautilus, but that's all they have in common. Moreover, the Nautilus in the game has lasers, killer robots, and a HAL-like computer system, and so it has little to do with the Nautilus from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (which takes place in 1867). So if you were hoping for a...
Safari Guns 1989 Arcade action
Safari Guns is an above-average first-person shooting gallery game, except in this game you have to shoot both bullets and pictures. Your job is to photograph a certain number of safari animals to pass each level before the film runs out. But at the same time, you must also be quick enough to switch to rifle to shoot the poachers before they shoot you. Requiring you to switch between the camera and the rifles is a nice twist that sets the game apart from other shooting gallery games, although the gameplay is still the same basic shoot-reload-shoot affair. Safari Guns...
Rush 'n Attack 1989 Arcade action
Depending on which title you use, and how you interpret it, this game is about a guy who a) rushes in before attacking b) attacks Russians (this was the mid-80s, when the US helped bin Laden do the same), or c) wears a rather goofy hat. One way or another, this arcade conversion arms you with a knife and sends you on a kamikaze mission against hordes of enemy fighters. There are four distinct sections of gameplay, taking in a Missile Base, a Harbour, a Bridge, and an enemy Prison Camp. Extra weapons with limited ammunition can be collected along the...
Tzar: The Burden of the Crown 2000 Strategy
For thousands of years, the fantasy world of Keanor had known peace as a result of the actions of a good mage who grew mighty enough to fend off the dark forces of evil and chaos. Nearing the end of his life, the mage transferred all his energy and wisdom into a single powerful Crystal. For a millennium after his passing, his apprentices guarded and used it to suppress the forces of darkness. Then, unexpectedly, another super powerful mage was born -- one who threatened to rule the world after successfully stealing the Crystal. Unable to defeat this mage or recover...
